“I have seen multiple therapists over the past 10 years, and no one has helped me make as much progress as Emily! I feel extremely comfortable in her presence and guided by our conversations. Our sessions have completely changed the way I look at certain situations and have significantly reduced my anxiety. She is incredibly kind, welcoming, and easy to talk to. I could not recommend her more, she has truly improved my quality of life!! ”

Getting to know Emily Cea
This first appointment will be a complimentary consultation call with the provider or our Intake Coordinator. During this call, we’re happy to address any questions you have
From spending over a decade living and working in big cities, like New York and DC, I know that stress and anxiety can form while working through dating and relationship challenges, stressful career decisions, the weight of others’ expectations, and comparison with others.
In our work together, I’ll tailor treatment to align with your goals, values, and unique experiences. We’ll explore what is most important to you —your relationships, identity, and past and present experiences—and uncover what’s contributing to your stress. While we’ll talk through challenges and what makes you feel the way you do, I also want to celebrate your wins and progress. In addition to bringing a strengths-based approach to counseling, I’ll also integrate Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a psychodynamic approach, and somatic techniques to support your growth holistically.
In session, I bring warmth, compassion, levity, and humor to create a healing space to process what’s going on for you. Each week, we’ll uncover the causes of your distress and talk through how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are linked to your core beliefs. From there, we will develop actionable steps to help you get back on track.
I completed a Bachelor of Science in Health Promotion at American University, with a concentration in Psychology and Business. This program gave me a strong foundation in human behavior, psychology, and physiology. I also completed a Master of Science (MSEd) in Mental Health Counseling from Hunter College.
In my free time, I enjoy bouldering, practicing yoga, and biking around Brooklyn—activities that feel grounding and energizing. On weekends, my partner and I love taking long walks with our dog, Millie, and heading upstate to hike and visit friends and family.

Emily has been my first experience with therapy. Despite my nervousness starting the sessions, I now cannot imagine my weeks without her! She is able to lead me through different thought processes and gently challenges me. She also notices patterns and makes connections which we talk about together. Emily’s demeanor is warm and welcoming— she makes me comfortable to speak up about anything.
